I was told the other day that the growth in the "commercial" use of Internet
in the USA is outstripping the growth of traditional users such as education/
research organizations.  Is this true?  If so, how is it being managed, and 
are similar things happening in Australia?

What is the view of the Internet/AARNet custodians to this trend - encouragement
or fear & loathing?  Will traffic charges be introduced based on "type" of
user?

What about general and direct public access (to any home with a UNIX or NT box)?

Are Telecom/Optus involved here - what about other carriers overseas?

What is happening in other areas such as Europe, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan?
